Just a heads up if no one’s noticed yet. Someone pulled the wrong tapes so several cuts on this reissue have noticeable differences. For example I Don’t Wanna Fight has strings missing on the...

Spoiler alert: Frankie Valli has been doing it for years. There's a video showing him lip syncing the high notes on Sherry for over a decade up on YouTube. Give him a break though - he still tours...
I was in the crowd for her appearance on GMA in 1997...

I would imagine it would've turned out somewhere along these lines if the girls had covered it. Cilla Black & The Breakaways try to bring about the ressurection on this version towards the end...

I mean Edna Garrett aka Charlotte Rae was served with that one LOL...
Ok, in all seriousness from a more modern day Ross interpretation...
Last night...
In those days, that only happened for live events like The Oscars. That special was obviously pre-taped. It sounds to me like ABC wanted to burn it off for some reason. Typically, a special like that...
If the Diana! TV special flopped in the ratings it might have been because ABC ran it at 10:00 PM on a Sunday night. Not actually the right time slot for the J5 fans to be up watching when they have...
Smokey should've upped his food game and named his dishes after his songs...
Going To A Gumbo
One Heart Beet Salad
Baby Baby Stir Fry
The Way You Stew The Things Beef Stew
He also could've...
Hmmmm... some of this still seems highly suspicious. Particularly the part that basically says they found safety copies in other Universal vaults that sound just as good or better because they...
page 3 of this issue from May 11th, 1968 explains the change

And here’s the June 9th issue that...
I just want to point out that during the period being examined, the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 was compiled from sales only. This began the week Forever Came Today stalled at #28 and lasted...
Don't forget that cassette and 8 track buyers were given extra tracks on each Supremes GH set to even out the playing times on some early pressings. Volume 1 added Put Yourself In My Place & Remove...
Pretty sure the title came from Warhol himself. Miss Ross got a package deal for $95,000 for four portraits in total - one of her and each of her three daughters. Diana paid immediately which was...
The Supremes general catalog was in disarray by the end of 91 thanks to the majority owners of Motown deciding that MCA wasn’t promoting the label’s product so they set up a rival distribution deal...
Was surprised last night when streaming the season 2 opener of Hacks that Diana's "That's How You Start Over" was used in a car scene. Jean Smart's character asked her driver to "turn it up."
The Weight
Touch
I Guess I’ll Miss The Man
None of them were singles quality - Touch as documented repeatedly here could’ve worked with the right mix and perhaps a Jean only vocal but there’s...
Most likely the #92 is from the physical album sales chart - which omits streaming. Typically most albums that rank lower than the top 50 there don't make the streaming inclusive Billboard 200 chart...
What, no love for Closing Dialogue on Farewell? Don’t make Senator Howard Cannon turn over in his grave….;)
Seriously though, for solo Diana I gotta 2nd the love for Come In From The Rain. Just...
I’m willing to bet there were old school Supremes fans miffed in 1986 that 25th Anniversary didn’t come out on 8-track or that Diana’s Take Me Higher didn’t come out on vinyl in 1995. Formats come...
Sweet Thing
The Beginning Of The End Of Love
Manhattan
Bend A Little
Can We Love Again
The reason Why Do Fools is on the lost list today really has more to do with the song being a throwback to an even earlier time [[the 50’s) so it’s harder to schedule the song to bump up against the...
As far as The Supremes goes nothing - all the Motown label masters in general weren’t stored there. Florence’s solo ABC masters made The NY Times list as that labels archives were stored in LA.

it’s locked up in storage now but here’s a pic at least of the slip case for my copy
Snippets from All Is Well & Come Together have been up on YouTube for a year. Probably not the final mixes though...
